Optima. A nation of prosperity, peace, and control. As life goes on within the island's perimeter, so do the forces that keep the mysterious country in power.

The Black Herons, a team of agents working for an underground Optiman agency, are tasked by their nation's vice president to retrieve a relic linked to the country's first president. The prized artifact was given away to the American government decades ago, and the Optiman vice president is eager to have it back.

Viv West has been in this business for over twenty years alongside her partner, Fern Undergrove. The two co-founded the Black Herons long ago and have since seen a constant change in their roster.

Cato Rose, the team's weapons specialist, and Naomi Hale, the resident hacker, work alongside Viv and Fern through dozens of missions every year, yet these heists have never tired them. But their lives are about to take a turn, for better or worse.

For the herons, this task is no harder than all the other heists they have completed in the past. That is until the team of four is forced to train a new member. Enter Emaline Kit, a teenage agent with an attitude and attachment issues.

Despite a road of obstacles ahead of them, the Black Herons must prepare for anything that could lead them astray-even if these problems may involve the other members of their own agency.

New chapters updated every Friday!

The Sapphire Shadow by James_Wake

"James Wake excels at writing action sequences. The book was jam-packed with nail biting moments. I felt like I was right beside Nadia as she fought, made quick decisions, and raced towards narrow escapes. The book is dark but realistic...Although this is not my typical genre, I'm glad I picked up this book. Nadia in particular is a wonderful character who brings panache to a gritty tale. " - Miranda Lynn, The Lesbian Review Nadia loves jewels. Big ones, small ones, red ones, blue ones. But her favorite variety is the illegally acquired. She has more than enough money to buy the best. That's never been the point. Shoplifting is her hobby, her escape. When her high school friend, Tess, offers to help her break into real burglary, how could she refuse? Tess is a technical genius - she designed and built her own right arm. Surely she can take down any security standing in their way to bigger and better loot. Outside the city walls, Jackson was raised in the slums. Life as a refugee was never easy, and the only way out was joining the army. Now she's a cop, finally living inside the old sea walls. She's supposed to be hunting Cheshire, a reclusive hacktivist stirring up unrest, but the nightly news is full of a smug young woman breaking the law and getting away with it, blowing kisses as she escapes police and private security. Theatrical, daring heists, thrilling to watch. And Jackson hates every minute of it. Meanwhile, the city they both call home is slowly tearing itself apart around them. Jackson crushes riot after riot, just part of the job. But more and more it feels wrong, hopeless, no point to any of it, no future for any of them. Nadia has given up on the future. But more and more people see her escapades and realize they can fight back. It doesn't make sense to Nadia, not at first, but an unlikely romance starts to show her that there could be some hope, even in a broken world.
